Subject: From My Board

On another board, I am being slandered, maligned, misquoted, and utterly misrepresented by a couple of wannabe heresy hunters who fancy themselves after the fashion of the late Dr. Walter R. Martin and Hank Hannegraf. They have been after me to denounce Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, and E.W. Kenyon, and the Word of Faith movement in general. It has gotten to the point of my being harassed constantly by those two, and regretably, I had to take action by reporting them to their ISP's, and in one instance, to the Campus Police department of the College whose computers one individual is using to malign, slander, misrepresent, and harass me.

I do not endorse everything Copeland and Hagin teach for they are most certainly in error when they teach that Jesus took on a demonic nature and had to be born again when He descended into Hell. They are cetainly in error when they teach that we are little gods. However, these men are called of God as ministers of the Gospel. They have slipped into error, and rather than crucify them as the "heresy hunters" and their wannabes do, and demand from me and others of Pentecostal persuasion, we should pray for them. We should pray that God will reveal their error to them and correct them. It is sad that Christians are quick to crucify our own, rather than do all they can to help them get right with God. Heresy hunters and those who follow their ways seem to refuse to pray for these individuals. If they did, they would have nothing to write about in their books or speak about in their radio programs. One such heresy hunter posted a message to me on his gossip board posing as a Christian Fellowship Board, that he is going to denounce me on his shortwave radio broadcast! Big deal! I kid you not! His board claims to be for Christian fellowship, but it is more for gossip than anything else, as well as to run down other Believers, while lifting their own egos and tooting their own horns. There is not one positive thing said there about others. They constantly run down everyone who disagrees with them. They have copied and pasted copyrighted material from my website and twisted my words, took my comments and statements completely out of context, etc. and the individual who is the Owner/Administrator of that board claims to be an Independent Baptist minister! What kind of example is he setting with his dishonest behavior on the internet? This individual has deleted posts by me refuting his lies and showing that he took my statements out of context or twisted my words. It has come to the point that I've had to complain to Voy forums about his behavior, and I am waiting for a response from Voy. Imagine, having to complain about another "minister" for dishonest and unethical conduct! These people even lashed out at me for posting a prayer on the board they have infected with their inquisition. I prayed for peace to return to that board, and I prayed that the Lord would correct me, if I be in error, and correct them if they be in error! They actually condemned me for praying such a prayer! You know, not once did they ever say, "Jack, we believe you are in error in your stand regarding these men and we are praying God will help you to see your error." No, instead, they accuse me of being demon-possessed, under the influence of demons, etc., and because of my Wiccan past, have falsely accused me of still being "Wiccan," and have tampered with my Testimony and other statements I made to make it appear that I am still Wiccan! Makes one wonder who is actually under demon influence, doesn't it? By the way, what is "my stand" regarding these men? My stand is simply refusing to pass judgment on them and join the "heresy hunters" and their wannabes in condemning them. Rather, I prefer to pray for them. Of course, I speak out against their erroneous teachings, but I refuse to condemn the men themselves. That is not my place or my job. Judgment is reserved to God. He did not call me or anyone else to be judge, jury, and executioner of these men. Two of the wannabes are known as "Sola Scriptura" and "SAK-47." Its funny that the one who has taken the handle meaning "only scripture" does not abide by that handle, for instead of relying on scripture only, she relies on the writings of her spiritual gurus and their interpretation of scripture. The other one I admit has me baffled as to why he would take the name of a communist made assault rifle, used to kill Christians in communist and Islamic lands, and to oppose the free world as his handle! Seems to me that if he were truly Christian, he would use a handle that was edifying to Christ! Perhaps he is not really a Christian, and only pretending to be one?

On WOG's (Word OF God) board, where most of this is taking place, I put up a post that quotes C.H. Spurgeon endorsing confessing the Word of God for healing, and asked if he was teaching "Word of Faith!" I also posted the names of other spiritual giants who endorsed confessing the Word of God, such as R.A. Torrey and these heresy hunter wannabes completely AVOIDED responding to that post! I wonder why? Could it be because Spurgeon and the others blow their cultic views out of the water by promoting "confessing the Word" which is a major tenet of Word of Faith? What could possibly be wrong in confessing one's healing? It signifies that one has faith that God will heal him/her.
